Goethe, Johann
Wolfgang.
Goethe's
dramatic ballad The First
Walpurgis Night inspired
Mendelssohn to write a
magnificent and vivid
portrayal of the conflict
between an old heathen
community and the new
aspirations of
Christianization, between
belief and superstition
on both sides. In 1833
Mendelssohn had his
ballad premiered, but he
decided to make
far-reaching revisions
before he finally had the
work published in 1844.
The Carus edition by the
leading Mendelssohn
scholar R. Larry Todd is
based on the first
printed edition of the
score and thus the last
authentic version of the
work. This important
choral work by
Mendelssohn is now
available in a modern
Urtext edition, with full
score (in two languages),
vocal score, choral score
and orchestral material
available on sale, as
well as a CD recording by
the Kammerchor Stuttgart
conducted by Frieder
Bernius (planned for
autumn 2019). Score and
parts available
separately - see item
CA.4013800.
